March 2008
  • "Had a great time. Lovely service, friendly staff!" D.B.,K.B.&J.B., Salmon Arm, British Columbia, Canada (March 30, 2008)

  • "We had a great time -- in spite of the unusual weather. The inn is a great respite from the turmoil of George Town. We've made some great memories. Thanks for your hospitality. A year of planning -- wonderful, wonderful spot. Thank you for everything!" S.J.&A.J., Broomfield Hills, Michigan, USA (March 29, 2008)

  • "Fabulous and memorable! Scenery and the inn were something we will always remember, may come back too! Thank you for a wonderful dinner yum...Nice to meet you all..." H.S.&J.S., Broomfield Hills, Michigan, USA (March 28, 2008)

  • "Where do I begin? This has been one of the best vacations I have ever been on, and that is due in a large part to Turtle Nest Inn. From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality made Grand Cayman feel like a home away from home. The apartment is so cozy, bright and inviting. The beach is rocky, but the snorkeling is great -- even the local barracuda were friendly. The location is great -- we toured around the whole island. We really enjoyed the terrace dinner -- delicious!! The coconut candy at the front desk was a treat as well. The best part of Turtle Nest Inn though? It's Martha's smile every morning. She is a delight to talk to and her laugh brightens your day. Marleine and Alain, thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality!! I will recommend TNI to anyone and everyone! We hope to return one day. And Martha, you remember our deal! Best wishes to you and your staff always. May we meet again!" M.S.&M.S., Cockeysville, Maryland, USA (March 25, 2008)

  • "Marleine and Alain: After seven years, our happy memories of Turtle Nest Inn have been renewed -- this time with even more adventures to enjoy and remember! We wish you all the best for a successful year and will be back as soon as we can! A bientôt et merci beaucoup pour un accueil si chalereux!" N.P.,H.P.&D.P., Nyack, New York, USA (March 23, 2008)

  • "Dear Marleine and Alain: Thank you so much for an absolutely amazing family vacation! We chose to visit Grand Cayman only because the reviews on TripAdvisor.com were glowing about Turtle Nest Inn. Your spectacular dinner on the terrace was the best that we had all week! You and your staff couldn't have been more warm, gracious, and helpful. We loved our unit with it's private deck, and being able to dine outside overlooking the pool and the beach. Our kids loved being able to play on the beach and in the pool, and to come and go on their own. Our wonderful experience definitely exceeded our expectations! We hope to see all of you again on our next vacation." K.C.&J.C., Chicago, Illinois, USA (March 22, 2008)

  • "Dana-Doo: The view was amazing! You could see almost everything from our balcony. We played in the pool almost everyday! Thank you so much, it was wonderful! Many thanks!" D.C., Chicago, Illinois, USA (March 22, 2008)

  • "Paulito the Bandito: The view was great, the water crystal clear, and the food spectacular. Dana and I also made a small fort which turned out better than I thought. The snorkeling was amazing also. Grand Cayman Rocks!!!" P.C., Chicago, Illinois, USA (March 22, 2008)

  • "We are leaving after a week's stay at TNI. We were pleasantly surprised at the accommodations, which exceeded our expectations! We loved the location which was peaceful and tranquil. The car was an added bonus and allowed us to explore the island. We found the view from the Inn to the ocean spectacular and hope to have captured it on film. The staff was the best we've experienced! It was a great family vacation!" W.W.,T.W.&J.W., Cleveland, Ohio, USA (March 22, 2008)

  • "The perfect place to get the stomach flu! (Really). We thought the accommodations were clean and spacious, and we appreciated the irony of the rooster painting on the wall! Martha couldn't have been more kind, or helpful. The location was ideal for seeing all sides of the island. Loved the pool too. Thank you". C.H.,R.H.&E.H., Lawrence, Kansas, USA (March 21, 2008)

  • "Thank you for this 'secret' secluded spot. We had a truly relaxing vacation and look forward to returning". S.S.&K.P., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA (March 19, 2008)

  • "A beautiful place and a fantastic staff. We enjoyed everything about our stay! You all made this such a great honeymoon and we hope to make it back to celebrate an anniversary or two here. Thanks for everything." R.S.&W.S., Alexandria, Virginia, USA (March 16, 2008)

  • "What a fantastic stay! The Inn exceeded our expectations. It is in the perfect location and provides the perfect accommodations for our family. However, what really made our stay so incredible was the service provided by Alain, Marleine and all of the amazing staff. Truly a world-class Inn, run by world-class people, on a warm and safe island. 'WOW' and thank you sincerely!" T.I.,J.I.,M.I.&K.I., London, Ontario, Canada (March 15, 2008)

  • "We had a wonderful time at Turtle Nest Inn and exploring Grand Cayman." T.M.&V.M., Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA (March 15, 2008)

  • "Wow! Wonder if we can retire here! We enjoyed the tranquility and everything the Inn had to offer. Sad to leave and we look forward to returning one day." H.D.&P.D., Pompton Plains, New Jersey, USA (March 15, 2008)

  • "Had the holiday of a lifetime here, fell in love with both our apartment and the Island. Will definitely return!"  K.T.&J.H., Ardfert, Kerry, Ireland (March 14, 2008)

  • "We loved everything about TNI and our stay here. The room was immaculate and thoughtfully appointed. Everyone we met and spoke with was charming and helpful (thanks again to Marleine, Alain, Martha, Sonia and Paulette). The Inn and grounds were elegant and private. The beach is beautiful and the snorkeling is great! Convenient services very close (the restaurant 4-5 houses down has tasty food). Yummy birthday cake! All in all, it couldn't have been more perfect -- you're the best!" B.A.&T.A., Seattle, Washington, USA (March 8, 2008)

  • "We enjoyed our stay at your beautiful Inn. Thank you for a great vacation." S.S.&D.S., Romeoville, Illinois, USA (March 8, 2008)

  • "What a wonderful spot -- so far from the commercialization of Seven Mile Beach, and so close to the great diving in East End; but at the same time centrally located to anywhere you want to go on the Island. Ocean Frontiers was wonderful -- thanks for the referral. We will recommend Turtle Nest to everyone that even says Grand Cayman. Thanks for everything!" D.G.&R.G., Portland, Oregon, USA (March 8, 2008)

  • "What can I say? Nothing could have been better. The room, the service, the smiles, just what the doctor ordered. A perfect little Inn. Thank you for everything." P.L.&T.L., Cincinnati, Ohio, USA (March 8, 2008)

  • "Thank you for a great vacation! The Inn was perfect. The peace and quiet was just what I needed. We are already planning our return to your wonderful Inn and beautiful island. Thanks for everything." J.H.&E.H., East Hampton, New York, USA (March 7, 2008)

  • "Thank you for such a wonderful and memorable vacation. We have really enjoyed our stay at Turtle Nest and hope to be back soon.

  • "Sorry to be leaving such a lovely spot." S.O.&R.O., Orillia, Ontario, Canada (March 5, 2008)

  • "We enjoyed our stay very much. Nice service, good room. Great reef off back. We would encourage the planting of more plants on the right side to block out the gas station. The rates are good, we will come back. Thank you." N.D.&S.D., Carterville, Illinois, USA (March 4, 2008)

  • "Three sisters on our first vacation ever. Superb service. Wonderful snorkeling right out front (big and little fishes in schools and individually)! Every special request, or ignorant question, was answered with a smile. Only disappointment -- nearby restaurant was closed the night we planned to eat there (Sea Side Paradise). Thank you for all of your emails help in advance, your in-person assistance during our stay and the hope that we can return one day. To Marleine, Alain, Martha, Sonia and all the staff -- Thank you." C.M.,R.C&K.S., Westport, Connecticut, USA (March 2, 2008)

  • "TNI -- what a great place! Miss Martha, you are absolutely the best! You will go far in this world!!!! Marleine and Alain, your hospitality is undeniable. You have made everything worth the 7+ hours to get here to your beautiful Island. And Vitamine, she made leaving our family of cats and dogs back home a little bit easier. Paulette and Sonia, such beautiful and clean rooms! If you ever want to come to the States, you can come way up North and keep our house clean while you visit!! Just kidding with you two, but your cleaning skills are to be commended! They are great. Thank you. Thanks to everyone. And if it ever gets too hot down here in Cayman for you...Head to the states, jump onto I-75 North and travel it until it stops on the Ontario, Canadian border. That would be Sault (pronounced Sue) Sainte Marie, Michigan, USA. God Bless all of you!" B.R.,J.R&M.R., Sault Ste Marie, Michigan, USA (March 2, 2008)

  • "Dear Marleine and Alain: Thank you for your warm welcome and to your staff for making our first Caribbean trip a great one! We really enjoyed the snorkeling out front and the dinner on Thursday night. We hope to come back someday soon. All the best." M.A.&M.A., Wauconda, Illinois, USA (March 1, 2008)

  • "Our third year here for our month-'short' stay and the rhythm of Turtle Nest Inn remains both tranquilizing and vibrant. When lots of folks arrive on the same day, poolside is similar to a Gauguin still life as guests repose, exhausted from their journeys and seeking the restorative massage of the breeze and soothing sound of the sea crashing over the nearby reef. By the next morning, guests have shed their wrist watches along with their stress. By the next day we've all (10 or 12 of us) become first name friends. Such is our wondrous experience. We've booked for 2009 and you should too! Fondly..." S.J.&T.J., Lexington Park, Maryland, USA (March 1, 2008)
